Elizabeth Birnie, past-chair of the Bethell Hospice Foundation and daughter of founder Lorna Bethell, and Foundation Board Vice-Chair Tim Powell welcomed everyone to the Bolton edition of the Hike. Powell observed the facility has to raise about 40 per cent of its budget, working out to about $20,000 per week. That’s what makes Saturdays hike and the one last Sunday in Inglewood so important.
Participants in Saturday’s walk made their way along the course from Dick’s Dam Park.
Walkers were out last Sunday, along the Caledon Trailway in Inglewood.
Several local companies had teams lined up to take part in Saturday’s hike, including Curves in Bolton.
